In addition to his sentence, upon his release from prison Anthony Maurice Cottle, 24, must register as a sex offender in the place where he lives, worked and where he's a student.

According to court documents, in June and July 2012 the former Baltimore County firefighter admitted to sexually abusing two minor boys to produce visual depictions of the abuse, including two videos.

Cottle produced one video showing the genitalia of a minor boy and Cottle performing sex acts on the child. He produced a second video depicting the genitalia of another minor boy. More than 600 images of child pornography were recovered from Cottle's computer and cellphone.

Images of several other child victims whom Cottle solicited to send him photos of their genitals, were also found. Cottle admitted that on some occasions he used video chat to capture the image live, and on other occasions the minor would send a photograph by cellphone.
